Healthy Communities
Working as a team to assist Northwest Missourians

Heartland Foundation facilitates and provides leadership for a regional healthy community movement aimed at supporting health and quality of life enhancements. This grassroots initiative called Healthy Communities encourages people from all sectors and walks of life to work side-by-side as partners to create a desired future for all who live in our communities.

Understanding that community-wide interests, such as housing, education, economic vitality, and civic involvement play key roles in the health of individuals and communities, the initiative is an integrated model that builds upon a collaborative process. It promotes voluntarism, wholistic systems thinking, creativity, innovation, and perpetual learning opportunities by encouraging a quality culture complete with outcomes measurement, recognition, and celebration.Regional initiatives through Healthy Communities include: Community Transformation Forums, Great Northwest Day at the Capitol, Leadership Northwest Missouri, Public Achievement, Regional Issues Forums and Youth Forums.
